Worlds Ugliest Animals!

THE AYE-AYE
The Aye-aye is currently an endangered species due to the fact that many of the natives in Madagascar view them as an evil omen and kill them on the spot. Definitely one of the worlds ugliest animals, but definitely wouldn't kill a creature no matter how ugly.
THE STAR- NOSED MOLE
A resident of North America this mole makes up for his poor eye sight with a hairless nose that is a "star" of 22 fleshy tentacles. The tentacles are extremely sensitive, and can even sense electricity.

THE RED LIPPED BAT FISH
The lipstick won't help. This ugly fish has quite the pout! They are terrible swimmers, and use their pectoral fins to "walk" along the ocean floor.

THE BLOB-FISH
This guy looks more like a cartoon character then a fish. The blob fish has very few muscles and moves very very slowly. It almost floats like a jelly fish along the ocean floor. To eat, the blob fish waits patiently on the ocean floor, for prey to swim by, then attacks.
